Dear Hannah,
If you just completed tax season– congratulations! We hope that you can enjoy some downtime. At the MSCPA, our “busy season” just started, as a new membership year is upon us! Earlier this week, you were invoiced for dues for the fiscal year, beginning May 1. You can renew your membership here.
In addition to information, networking opportunities, career support and resources, MSCPA members also get exclusive CPE discounts. This spring, we’re offering a robust lineup of seminars, conferences and webinars – check them out on our website and watch for our CPE calendar, which will be mailed to you next week.
As always, we are constantly working to deliver courses on hot topics and trends in the profession, and the Massachusetts Equal Pay Act is at the top of our list. The MSCPA will host a seminar on May 14 to help you prepare for the Act, which goes into effect on July 1 and will impact you, your clients and your practice. To register for the seminar, click here. It will be led by instructor Andrew Botti, Esq. who provided an overview of the Act and its effects in this blog post.
Have a great weekend!
